Types of functional diversity

In general, each example of functional diversity and each affected element is classed on three levels: ACCESSIBLE, MODERATELY ACCESSIBLE OR PRACTICABLE and NOT ACCESSIBLE. To differentiate between these, each level is colour-coded and identified in green, amber and red.

Accesible

Fulfils all the criteria of Euskadi's model for accessibility for tourists, to the extent that all persons with functional diversity may access and use the establishment autonomously.

Practicable

Fulfils most of the criteria of Euskadi's tourist accessibility model to the extent that the majority of people with functional diversity may access and use the establishment autonomously.

Not accessible

Does not fulfil most of the criteria of Euskadi's tourist accessibility model.
